preparation example Construction

[0177] For the preparation of the propylene polymer (PP2a) the polymerization process described above for the first propylene polymer (PP1) and the Ziegler-Natta catalyst can be used. Therefore, reference is made to the process and Ziegler-Natta catalyst described above for the first propylene polymer (PP1).

[0178] Propylene polymer (PP2b) measured according to ISO 1133 melt flow rate MFR 2 (230°C, 2.16kg) is preferably 0.1g / 10min to 50.0g / 10min, more preferably 1.0g / 10min to 30.0g / min, even more preferably 10.0g / 10min to 28.0g / 10min.

[0179] Also preferably the propylene polymer (PP2b) has a rather low content of cold xylene solubles (XCS), ie the xylene cold solubles (XCS) is lower than 4.1 wt%. Accordingly, the propylene polymer (PP2b) preferably has a xylene cold soluble (XCS) content of 1.0 wt% to 4.0 wt%, more preferably 1.5 wt% to 3.8 wt%, still more preferably 2.0 wt% to 3.5 wt% %.

[0180]Thus, similarly to the first propylene polymer (PP1) and the propylene pol...

Embodiment approach

[0223] Polypropylene (Pre-PP) is produced in a prepolymerization reactor (PR). Prepolymerization was carried out in the presence of a Ziegler-Natta catalyst (ZN-C2). According to this embodiment, the Ziegler-Natta catalyst (ZN-C2), the cocatalyst (Co) and the external donor (ED) are all introduced into the prepolymerization step. However, this should not exclude the option of adding further co-catalysts (Co) and / or external donors (ED) at a later stage, eg during the polymerization, eg in the first reactor (R1). In one embodiment, the Ziegler-Natta catalyst (ZN-C2), cocatalyst (Co) and external donor (ED) are added only to the prepolymerization reactor (PR) if prepolymerization is performed.

[0224] The prepolymerization reaction is usually carried out at a temperature of 0°C to 60°C (preferably 15°C to 50°C, more preferably 20°C to 45°C).

[0225] The pressure in the prepolymerization reactor is not critical, but must be high enough to keep the reaction mixture in the liqu...

Abstract

The present invention is directed to granules comprising a fiber reinforced composition (C), said composition comprising a propylene polymer (PP), an elastomeric ethylene copolymer (E) and long fibers(LF).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to granules comprising a fiber reinforced composition (C) comprising a propylene polymer (PP), an elastomeric ethylene copolymer (E) and long fibers (LF). Background technique [0002] The mechanical properties (especially stiffness and strength) of fiber reinforced polypropylene compositions are usually adjusted with the fiber content. In particular, increasing fiber content results in increased stiffness and strength. The addition of fibers to the polypropylene composition also results in improved notched impact and puncture properties. However, the impact properties of such compositions are completely controlled by the fiber content, thus further improving the impact properties of fiber-reinforced polypropylene compositions is challenging. [0003] The most obvious way to make fiber reinforced polypropylene compositions more tough is to add large amounts of elastomeric components. The disadvantage of this method is a...
